⚽️Have you played with your kids lately? I’m talking, kick a ball and run around type of play!⚽️⠀
⠀
This? An opportunity to play with your kids, and give back at the same time (in my book, it doesn’t get better than this). I’m teaming up with Honey Bunches of Oats® and Feed the Children to share their #ScoreForMore program. We all know that too many children in our country live with hunger on a daily basis (in fact it’s 1 in 7).⠀
⠀
Feed the Children is an amazing organization that is serving those children in need every day. And right now? I’ve got the easiest way in the world to help them. Post a picture of you or your kids (and you AND your kids) scoring a goal and use #ScoreForMore on IG, FB or Twitter. For every photo posted with the hashtag, Honey Bunches of Oats will be donating $100 to Feed the Children. Easy right? Now your assignment for this weekend? Take that goal photo! I can’t wait to see them!⠀

Ahem family. Let’s chat. I have to be honest, this one took me a little longer to get to. Somehow, for a long time I still felt uncomfortable bearing my belly to the world. Now on a basic level, why? A strip of fabric on a suit? Does it really make a difference? I guess it was like a security blanket right?⠀
⠀
Here’s my Ted Talk for the day: wear the suit. wear a two piece. It’s freeing. Wear it in your backyard. Wear it to the beach. Wear it running through the sprinklers with your kids. Because guess what? You’ll realize it’s really not a big deal.⠀
⠀
Now, tell me how you feel about wearing a two piece. Let’s do this together!

Ok ladies, let’s get in formation. ( I had to, and sorry if it’s stuck in your head now).⠀
⠀
This post is meant to be a library, a reference tool for all of us. So be sure to participate!⠀
⠀
BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES:⠀
Leave your favorite black owned businesses in the comments. Business owners, feel free to leave tons of info about what you offer and to tag yourselves (influencers you’re a business too).⠀
⠀
A few of my favorites that I mentioned in stories today:⠀
❤️ @blkandbold coffee is a favorite in our house: their coffee and tea is delish, they also give back 5% of their profits to No Child Hungry⠀
❤️ @nolaskinsentials makes amazing vegan products in stunning packaging (their love your body wash is my fav)⠀
❤️ Ana and Andrew books written by @afrominimalist are perfect for early readers (great beginning chapter books)….Lydia loves the Magic Violin book⠀
❤️ I ordered the cutest glitter laptop case last month from @chic.geeks and I’m OBSESSED⠀
⠀
Can’t wait to see YOUR favorites!

🛏 Which one of us do you think is the worse sleeper? 🛏⠀
⠀
(Leave your guess in the comment and then swipe to see the answer!) ⠀
⠀
Anyone else relate? If your partner wakes up at night, do you? Couple problems. We’ve both been working to develop better sleep habits (I’m sharing a few things that have helped us in my stories). But no matter what, sometimes that middle of the night wake up happens. We’ve both been using Natrol’s 3 a.m Melatonin lately and I am a FAN. It’s specially formulated FOR those middle-of-the-night wake-ups and is meant to help you fall back asleep (isn’t it the WORST when you toss and turn at 3 am?). So - did you guess correctly? Who is the worst sleeper in your house??? ⠀

💜”And don’t underestimate the importance of……BODY LANGUAGE!”💜⠀
⠀
Ok so here’s the thing. I was all set to post a cute picture for my friend Courtney’s Color Me Mermaid project…..I love that she launched this last year to celebrate the live action Little Mermaid, the casting of Halle Bailey, and to showcase the amazing diversity of Ariel fans plus how important representation is in films just like this one the hashtag literally brought me to tears last summer and I loved seeing so many beautiful humans participate. But, I got distracted by these Ursula pictures. So Courtney, this is my rule breaking Color Me Mermaid. Since you’re all about coloring outside the lines, I know you’ll appreciate it.⠀
⠀
Now, let’s talk body language. Like, actual language about your body. The language you use with YOURSELF. This many years in to working own my body image, my confidence…..I still have a long way to go. Lately? I’m finding myself fixating on the cellulite on the back of my legs. In fact, I felt SUPER insecure taking these pictures. I was visiting a crowded waterpark, taking photos with a dear friend (you can see the shots we took together over in stories) and still? I kept thinking about the back of my thighs. Here we are, a couple months later, and…..all I can think about is what a fun day we had, and how much I love this memory together. But in the moment? My insecurities sure tried to steal my joy. The language I used with myself? Almost ruined what turned out to be a special memory.⠀
⠀
So. I’m owning this as a struggle for me. I’m voicing it here. And I’m working on the fact that……cellulite is something most people have. This body language is getting better by the day.⠀
⠀
And I want to remind you. Wherever you are in the journey, it’s ok. We’re all in it too. Don’t forget the power of your voice (to yourself and to others).⠀
⠀
Now, use your body language in the comments, and tell me……how are you feeling about swimsuit season? Who is inspiring you? ⠀
⠀
I’m tagging a few of the ladies who inspire me in my photo.....⠀

✨ AD: Ok Disney Fam......what Princess and the Frog character am I bounding as??? ✨⠀

💚You guys know what big PATF fans we are, and honestly? I'm missing the Disney magic something crazy. But as of now? We're home for while. Now, don't judge.....but I finally spent some time putting together my home office. ⠀
⠀
💚And I decided if you can't get to Disney.....then Disney has to get to you. My whole office is filled with subtle Disney touches including this Cricut created To Do Board. I fill it out each morning with a dry erase pen, and I love using it throughout the day. I figure, if Tiana could get her restaurant.....then I can get through my task list, right?!? ⠀

💚Who is YOUR favorite Princess and the Frog character? ⠀
